Beautifully updated 4 bedroom home on 9 acres. Privately set back from the road. 5 minutes from grocery shopping, medical, dental and take out. 5 minutes from downtown Valatie and only 7 from beautiful, historic Kinderhook and newly completed Electric Trail (walking/bike path). Only 25 minutes from Albany/Troy, Hudson and equidistant from both Rensselaer or Hudson Train station. Lower level has an open-concept kitchen-dining space with custom-built cabinets, oversized island, bar stool seating and space for a long, farmhouse table. A cozy “booth” table nestled in a set of bay windows provides additional seating and a perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee. Kitchen renovation is near complete with cabinet doors and additional lighting added this week (4/19/21). Photos will update daily to reflect changes. The living room sits just off the kitchen/dining area giving the entire first floor a cohesive look and feel. Front room currently used as a giant mudroom and “command center” office for large family. A half-bath sits off the mudroom and is conveniently located for kids in and out from outside, as well as for someone using the attached heated workshop/garage. Second floor has a master bedroom and bathroom, three additional bedrooms and another full bath. All three bathrooms in the house completely renovated in 2016. A fourth small room upstairs (no closet) is currently used as a bedroom but has been used in the past as an office or nursery. The finished basement has ample space for at-home learning, homeschooling, a home office or workout environment. The laundry room sports a whole lot of 90s cheese, but is ready for you to re-vamp and make your own. As it is now it is clean and functional with folding space and new cabinets. A natural wood deck and beautiful landscaping surround a free-form, heated above-ground pool. Three outbuildings, including one with a newly-poured cement floor. The 9 acres of land provide a nice mix of fields and woods, including a large skating pond. Mature strawberry/asparagus patch, rows of mature raspberries, and an established raised-bed kitchen herb garden close the house. A large compost pile next to another set of raised beds sits next to one of the outbuildings currently used to house a small tractor and all gardening equipment (and as the photo show, a trading post of sorts to entice our kids to do garden work for usually contraband junk food ;). Home has Geothermal system for heat and central air, and two solar panels. These two systems combined will leave the next owner with a near-zero utility bill. If the current oil-fueled water heater is replaced with an electric one, the house will have a zero-carbon footprint. Come and live a different life connected with nature! Grow your own food, raise your own meat and skate on your own pond while only minutes away from convenience. Or, do none of that, let the fields grow up and simply enjoy a home nestled in a private, natural landscape. Who needs a garden gnome when you have Maurice, the toad, who is a summertime regular ;) Nearly all furniture/fixtures available for an additional price if move-in ready condition is desired. A second home with an additional 5 acres (that is connected to this one through the woods) is currently also for sale for a separate price. Combined with the second home this second property would be perfect for an in-law apartment, large home office, artist’s space or rental property. Proof of funds required to schedule showing. House will be for sale by owner for several weeks and will then be listed with an agent on MLS. Buyers agents welcome.
